SCARCE OPPORTUNITY to purchase this STRONGLY LIMITED, HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE BOOK by Danish photographer Krass Clement - in BRANDNEW CONDITION + SIGNED.

Shot in Damaskus, Palmyra, Aleppo, Homs and Deir Ez-Zur in 2001, Krass Clement depicts in this very personal travel and photobook a world of yesterday. In "Impasse Hotel Syria" he describes the recent past. Just 15 years ago Clement took pictures of a country that today has undergone a complete and shocking change. An entire country and an entire people have become victims of war, and this is thoughtful and creates a sounding board when you see the beautiful photographs of Clement, one of our greatest living Danish photographers. The photographs are lyric and seeking and casts a look back at a society that a few years ago was apparently so well, but now lies in ruins.

Signed by the artist.

Krass Clement is one of the most important Danish photographers. He has fans all over the world.  Most of his books, especially the old ones, are strongly limited and very sought-after.

From the photographer's website:
"Clement's photographic work emerges from two traditions: The Scandinavian melancholy on the one hand and the 'flaneur' tradition from the Parisian school on the other. In his photography Krass is more concerned with capturing a state of mind than with situations. They are less documentary depictions than subjective moods somewhere between spectator and reality. Insisting on an artistic integrity, Krass Clement has created a strong personal body of work with the photobook as his favourite medium".
